One Caller's Story: Hate Crime On The Streets Of London

Julianna calls Iain Dale to tell him about being the victim of a hate crime and how she feels it's been sparked by Brexit, Donald Trump and the resurgence of the far right.

"I'm a really proud mixed race person and I'm a really really proud Englishwoman. And I feel fearful living in the middle of London.

"I walked with my baby in the rain last week, I put a scarf over my head to cover my head from the rain.

"I was shouted at, told to f***ing go home, you P*** c***. In the middle of London! I've never experienced any type of racism in my life.

"But it's this sense of fear, of xenophobia, that has been whipped up.

"Seeing Nigel Farage and seeing Donald Trump together is a move to the far right....as a person, living in probably the most cosmopolitan city in the world, fills me with fear for myself and fear for my children."
